Saving Cream. "When calves are fed on skimmed 

 milk tliey miss the butter-fat that has been taken 

 away as cream. In its place the farmer feeds the 

 calf some corn meal or linseed meal. One or two 

 cents' worth of meal will serve the calf as well as 

 twenty-five cents' worth of cream. 



Choosing a Good Dairy Cow. The dairy cow is 

 shaped like a wedge. The neck, thighs, and shoul- 

 ders are thin and lean. She should be thin, not 

 because she is poorly fed, but because she is turning 

 a large part of the feed she eats into milk. She 

 should be quiet and gentle. She should be strong 

 and have room for a large quantity of food. Her 

 hips are prominent and wide apart, and the rump 

 is high. The hind legs are trim and set well apart.
